In the example above (www.benandshannon.com/error.html) you can see that when
you have some invalid HTML inside your textarea then the entire page renders
incorectly. The page should contain two textarea's and the first should have the
text <table><tr id="> inside it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a TEXTAREA element which contains some invalid HTML
2. View the page using Firefox
3.

Actual Results:  
TextArea renders with a block of HTML inside it (including the </textarea> tag)

Expected Results:  
Treated the contents of the textarea as plain text.

If you dont have any HTML in the textarea it works fine. Anything of the format <x="
with incomplete quotes generally breaks.
